CSM: In addition, explain how the rates of asthma and allergies in children have increased as the smoking rates decrease. Based on that correlation alone, then not smoking around children increases their risk of contracting harmful life long health problems.

WildHorseCrash: That's the dumbest, most ignorant, illogical, inane and ridiculously stupid statement I've read on FreeRepublic in a while. Holy crap, it's like the perfect storm of mindless idiocy. I mean, you have to be REALLY stupid not to see the fallacy in that statement. (Here's a hint: if other causes of allergies and asthma increase at a greater rate than the rate of smoking decreases, do you think the rate of allergies and asthma would increase, decrease, or remain the same?)

Guess who made the really illogical, inane and ridiculously stupid statement? Hint: It wasn't CSM.

When he posted to me, that's exactly how "I" took it.  I ask him about it, but he hasn't given me a good answer.

My fur was flying when I read his post to me!!!!!

I don't think you will get one, either.

Thanks for saying what I was determined not to say.

I am trying to preserve my ladylike image around FR. :>)

"Hopefully though parents don't need to be told not to smoke around children."




I smoke around my grandchildren. Is that okay?

Pssssstt ! Don't bother answering this post---your mind is probably closed on this particular subject.

You don't know what I do or don't know.

Besides, I tried to make humor because the argument presented was laughable.

wow..my most popular post..I don't know what to say..I find smoking a vile and disgusting habit..I hated to be near it..but as long as it a legal substance and taxed most heavily..people should work or eat at places that do not allow smoking..they should not force their prefences thru the law..at least make smoking illegal..but we all know that they need the taxes..as for the bogus second hand smoke...I am not a doctor..but how in the world could a doctor walk into a patient room and tell them that they have terminal cancer from second hand smoke..did that doctor follow them around and determine that they were around bad smokers???...it is yet another case of bad science with politically motivated causes..

My ancestors came to America from Scotland to enjoy more freedom.. economic, personal and religious.

If America becomes as controlled as Europe what was the point, especially for the children born when we are as controlled.

Boy, Sarge,you must be new to the tobacco/smoking threads if you think this one is bizarre or irrational. This one's nothing compared to some of the ones we've had.

Yes, I'd say you got it there.
They don't like the fact you are still able to make-up your own mind without their say.

But, they're working hard to see to it you can't.

It took you all of two posts to go ad hominem. Please don't waste my time.

Nor will they mine. At least we have enough guts to stick up for ourselves. Their lies and control-freak attitudes do nothing but stengthen my will.
